This is ALL OVER MY BODY and itching like crazy! If this is any indication of my tolerance for side effects ... it is not only going to be a long road, but an amazingly difficult one, too!
For whatever reason, this day has been the most difficult one since the start of my medication. I suppose the realization of this experience is really setting in ... cancer SUCKS! Hopefully, my body will begin to adjust and this irritating rash will subside ... at least a little. On Thursday, I will see my oncologist for a "side effect check" ... boy, do I have some words for her ...
Until then, I need my prayer warriors on high alert ... please pray that this journey will bring with it the greatest reward ... a long, happy, CANCER-FREE life!

OMG - that's like the worst case of poison ivy or something. I'd like to say hang in there - but doubt that would be of much help! Hope it gets better - and SOON!!

Oh Jill, my sweet friend, I am so sorry. This stinks!!! I hate this so much for you. I will be praying like crazy for you!!! Know that you are loved so much! I hope that this will get better soon!
Jill, I also hate that you are going through this. If there was just something we could do. Love you!
Oh sweetie...I am so very sorry you are experiencing these nasty side affects. Hopefully your doctor will be able to come up with something to provide some relief. Try the Zyrtec and Allegra for the itching...like the dermatologist recommended. At least it won't itch! I love you.

I love you!!!!!

Jill - you might try ground up oatmeal with honey to ease the itch - just spread it on, stand there a while (in the tub) and then rinse with cool water.
Will do Jill! Praying for you and that the doctor has the knowledge of how they can help these side effects go away!! Try the oatmeal bath....it sometimes helps! :)
I read that tea tree oil makes your scalp feel better. I have been doing research as if I were writing a dissertation on your meds, cancer, and the Emory trial. Praying, researching, and loving you and your precious family. Dymple
